This appliance conforms to current

safety requirements. Inappropriate

use can, however, lead to personal

injury and damage to property.

To avoid the risk of accidents and

damage to the appliance, please

read these instructions carefully

before using it for the first time. They

contain important information on its

safety, use and maintenance.

Keep these instructions in a safe

place and pass them on to any

future owner.

Correct application

~

This dishwasher is intended

exclusively for cleaning domestic

crockery and cutlery in a domestic

household. Using it for purposes other

than those for which it was designed,

as well as any alterations or

conversions to the appliance, would be

unauthorised and could be dangerous.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for damage resulting from improper or

incorrect use of the appliance.

~

This dishwasher is not intended for

use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of

experience and knowledge, unless they

are supervised whilst using it or they

have been shown how to use it

correctly by a person responsible for

their safety.

Safety with children

~

This appliance is not a toy! To avoid

the risk of injury, keep children well

away and do not allow them to play in

or around the dishwasher, or to use the

controls. They will not understand the

potential dangers posed by it. They

should be supervised whenever you

are working in the kitchen. There is a

danger that children playing might shut

themselves in the dishwasher.

~

Older children may only use the

dishwasher when its operation has

been clearly explained to them and

they are able to use it safely,

recognising the dangers of misuse.

~

Keep children away from

detergents. Dishwasher detergents

contain irritant and corrosive

ingredients which can cause burning in

the mouth, nose and throat if

swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep

children away from the dishwasher

when the door is open. There could still

be detergent residues in the cabinet.

Consult a doctor immediately if your

child has swallowed or inhaled

detergent.

Warning and Safety instructions

9

Technical safety

~

Before setting up the appliance,

check it for any externally visible

damage. Under no circumstances

should you use a damaged appliance.

A damaged appliance could be

dangerous.

~

The dishwasher must only be

plugged into the electricity supply via a

suitable switched socket. The electrical

socket must be easily accessible after

the dishwasher has been installed so

that it can be disconnected from the

electricity supply at any time. (See

"Electrical connection").

~

There must be no electrical sockets

behind the dishwasher. Danger of

overheating and fire risk if the

dishwasher were to be pushed up

against a plug.

~

The dishwasher must not be

installed under a hob. The high radiant

temperatures which are sometimes

generated by a hob could damage the

dishwasher. For the same reason it

should not be installed next to open

fires or other appliances which give off

heat, such as heaters etc.

~

Do not connect the dishwasher to

the mains supply until it has been fully

installed.

~

Before connecting the appliance,

check that the connection data on the

data plate (voltage and connected

load) match the mains electricity

supply. If in any doubt, consult a

qualified electrician.

~

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed

when continuity is complete between it

and an effective earthing system. It is

most important that this basic safety

requirement is present and regularly

tested and where there is any doubt the

electrical system in the house should

be checked by a qualified electrician.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable

for the consequences of an inadequate

earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

~

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a

multi-socket unit or an extension lead.

These do not guarantee the required

safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of

overheating).

Warning and Safety instructions

10

~

This appliance may only be installed

in mobile installations such as ships if a

risk assessment of the installation has

been carried out by a suitably qualified

engineer.

~

The plastic housing of the water

connection contains an electrical

component. The housing must not be

dipped in water.

~

There are live wires in the water inlet

hose. Never cut the water inlet hose,

even if it is too long.

~

The integrated Waterproof System

offers protection from water damage,

provided the following conditions are

met:

– The dishwasher is correctly installed

and plumbed in.

– The dishwasher is properly

maintained and parts are replaced

where necessary.

– The stopcock has been turned off

when the appliance is not used for a

longer period of time (e.g. during

holidays).

The Waterproof system will work even if

the appliance is switched off. However,

the appliance must remain connected

to the electricity supply.

~

A damaged appliance could be

dangerous. If the dishwasher gets

damaged, switch it off at the mains and

call your Miele Dealer or the Miele

Service Department.

~

Unauthorised repairs could result in

unforeseen dangers for the user, for

which Miele cannot accept liability.

Repairs should only be undertaken by a

Miele approved service technician.

~

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

spare parts. The manufacturer can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance

when Miele replacement parts are

used.

~

Always disconnect the dishwasher

from the electrical supply for

maintenance work (switch off at the wall

socket and remove the plug).

~

If the connection cable is damaged

it must be replaced with a Miele cable

by a Miele approved service technician

only.

~

In countries where there are areas

which may be subject to infestation by

cockroaches or other vermin, pay

particular attention to keeping the

appliance and its surroundings in a

clean condition at all times. Any

damage which may be caused by

cockroaches or other vermin will not be

covered by the guarantee.

Warning and Safety instructions

11

Installation

~

The dishwasher must be installed

and connected in compliance with the

installation diagram supplied.

~

The dishwasher must be correctly

aligned to ensure problem-free

operation.

~

In order to ensure stability,

built-under and integrated dishwashers

must only be installed under a

continuous worktop which is secured to

adjacent cabinetry.

~

If you want to convert your

freestanding dishwasher to a

built-under ("U") model, you will need to

order the appropriate conversion kit. If

you remove the existing plinth, you

must replace it with a U-model plinth.

This is necessary to avoid the risk of

injury caused by protruding metal

parts.

Correct use

~

Do not use solvents in the

dishwasher. Danger of explosion.

~

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher

detergent. Dishwasher detergents

contain irritant or corrosive ingredients

which can cause burning in the nose,

mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit

breathing. Consult a doctor immediate

-

ly if detergent has been swallowed or

inhaled.

~

Avoid leaving the door open

unnecessarily, as you could trip over it.

~

Do not sit or lean on the opened

door. This could cause the dishwasher

to tip and be damaged, and you could

get injured.

~

Only use detergent and rinse aid

formulated for domestic dishwashers.

Do not use washing-up liquid.

~

Do not use commercial or industrial

detergents as these may cause

damage, and there is a risk of severe

chemical reaction.

~

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with

powder or liquid detergent. This will

cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Warning and Safety instructions

12

~

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir

with powder or liquid dishwasher

detergent will damage the water

softener. Make sure you have picked

up the correct packet of dishwasher

salt before filling the salt reservoir!

~

Please only use special coarse

grained dishwasher salt for reactivation,

as other salts may contain insoluble

additives which can impair the

functioning of the softener.

~

In an appliance with a cutlery basket

(depending on model) cutlery is

cleaned and dried more efficiently if

placed in the basket with the handles

downwards. However, to avoid the risk

of injury, place knives and forks etc.

with the handles upwards.

~

Plastic items which cannot withstand

being washed in hot water, such as

disposable plastic containers, or plastic

cutlery and crockery should not be

cleaned in the dishwasher. The high

temperatures in the dishwasher may

cause them to melt or lose shape.

~

On models with "Delay start", make

sure that the dispenser is dry before

adding detergent. Wipe dry if

necessary. Detergent will clog if poured

into a damp dispenser and may not be

thoroughly dispersed.

Accessories

~

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If

spare parts or accessories from other

manufacturers are used, this will

invalidate the guarantee, and Miele

cannot accept liability.

Disposal of your old

dishwasher

~

Make the door lock inoperative so

that children cannot accidentally shut

themselves in. Make appropriate

arrangements for the disposal of the

appliance.

The manufacturer cannot be held

liable for damage caused by

non-compliance with these Warning

and Safety instructions.

Warning and Safety instructions

13

Disposal of the packing

material

The transport and protective packing

has been selected from materials which

are environmentally friendly for disposal

and can normally be recycled.

–

Polyethylene (PE) protective wrap

Rather than just throwing these

materials away, please ensure they are

recycled.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances

often contain materials which, if

handled or disposed of incorrectly,

could be potentially hazardous to

human health and to the environment.

They are, however, essential for the

correct functioning of your appliance.

Please do not therefore dispose of it

with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local

community waste collection/recycling

centre and ensure that it presents no

danger to children while being stored

for disposal.

To enable sorting by type of plastic for

recycling, all plastic parts of the

appliance are labelled with international

standard symbols.

Caring for the environment

Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally

economical in its use of water and

electricity. You can make the most of

your appliance by following these tips:

^

For most economical dishwashing

make full use of the baskets without

overloading the dishwasher.

^

Choose the programme to suit the

type of crockery being washed and

the degree of soiling.

^

washing lightly to normally soiled

dishes.

The water will not be heated in this

programme. However, because the

water is not heated, drying results

may not match those of other

programmes.

^

Follow the detergent manufacturer's

recommendations on detergent

dosage.

^

When using powder or liquid

detergent you can use

1

/

3

less

detergent if baskets are only half full.

Before using for the first time

18

Miele branded products are available

from the Miele Spare Parts

Department or via the internet at

www.miele-shop.com.

Before using the appliance for

the first time, you require:

–

Approx. 1 kg dishwasher salt,

–

Domestic dishwasher detergent,

–

Rinse aid formulated for domestic

dishwashers.

Every dishwasher is tested at the

factory.

There will be residual water in the

appliance from this test. It is not an

indication that it has been used

previously.

This dishwasher is fitted with a water

softener sensor which automatically

sets the water softener unit for the

local water hardness level.

External water softening

system

If your dishwasher is connected to an

external water softening system which

uses salt to reactivate, you will still need

to programme the dishwasher to the

correct water hardness level to achieve

good cleaning results.

^

Set the water softener unit of the

dishwasher to the water hardness

level of the water which is supplied

from the external water softening

system.

If you do not know what this is, then

set the value at 1.4 mmol/l (8 °d) (see

Settings menu

!, External water

softener).

Filling the salt reservoir

In order to achieve good cleaning

results, the dishwasher needs to

operate with soft water. Hard water

results in the build-up of calcium

deposits on crockery and in the

dishwasher.

Mains water with a hardness level

higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German

scale) needs to be softened. This takes

place automatically in the integrated

softener unit.

The softener unit is suitable for a water

hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l

(70 °d). It requires dishwasher salt.

If you use combination products

which have salt in them in your

dishwasher, such as "3 in 1" or

"4 in 1" products, you should still

add salt in order to achieve optimum

results and to ensure that the water

softener continues to function.

Selecting the Combination tabs

function reduces salt consumption

to between

1

/

4

and

1

/

3

of the normal

amount. (See Settings menu J,

Detergent type).

Before using for the first time

19

You can check the water hardness level

measured by the water softener sensor

in the display (see Settings menu

!,

Water hardness).

If the water in your area is very soft

and constantly lower than

0.7 mmol/l (4 °d) you do not need to

add salt. The "Insufficient salt"

message will be deactivated

automatically.

,

Inadvertently filling the salt

reservoir with powder or liquid

dishwasher detergent will damage

the water softener. Make sure you

have picked up the correct packet

of dishwasher salt before filling the

salt reservoir!

,

Only use special coarse grained

dishwasher salt for reactivation. Do

not use other salts such as cooking

salt, agricultural grade or gritting

salt. These may contain insoluble

additives which can impair the

functioning of the water softener.

^

When filling the salt reservoir only

open the door halfway to ensure

that all the salt gets into the reservoir.

^ Press the button on the lid of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow

until the flap springs open.

^

Lift up the funnel.
